I need thee every hour, most gracious Lord;
no tender voice like thine can peace afford.
Text
1
I need thee every hour, most gracious Lord;
no tender voice like thine can peace afford.
Refrain
I need thee, O I need thee;
every hour I need thee;
O bless me now, my Savior, I come to thee.
2
I need thee every hour; stay thou nearby;
temptations lose their power when thou art nigh.
3
I need thee every hour, in joy or pain;
come quickly and abide, or life is vain.
4
I need thee every hour; teach me thy will;
and thy rich promises in me fulfill.

Notes
Get to know the hymns a little deeper with the SDA Hymnal Companion. Use our song leader’s notes to engage your congregation in singing with understanding. Even better, involve kids in learning this hymn with our homeschooling materials.
Truly, there are many knowledge and new learnings emerging in our world today that we have to be so keen in what we ought to believe. The Lord gives us clear instruction as to what pursuits we should avoid. Let’s pray for God’s presence every hour that our actions may be in accordance to His will.
